TODAY IS NATIONAL CHOCOLATE COVERED CASHEWS DAY National Chocolate Covered Cashews Day is celebrated each year on April 21st. The cashew is a tree from the tree family Anacardiaceae. Its English name comes from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree “caju.” This tree is originally native to Northeastern Brazil; however, it is now widely grown in tropical climates for it’s cashew fruit and nuts. Surprisingly, the shell of the cashew nut is toxic, which is why the cashew is shelled before it is sold to consumers. The cashew nut is a very popular snack with a rich flavor. They are a well-known favorite during the holidays, but can be enjoyed anytime throughout the year.

Who has heard of miso? Do you know what it is and how to use it? If so let us know your favourite way of using it in the comments. Miso is a nutrient rich, fermented condiment especially popular in parts of Asia. It is a thick paste made from soybeans that have been fermented with salt and a koji starter. This fermentation produces beneficial nutrients, potentially boosting digestion, aiding the immune system and helping fight disease. Miso paste can be used to make sauces, spreads and soup stock, or to pickle vegetables and meat and brings great umami flavour to a dish. Although miso is traditionally made from soybeans, other ingredients may also be used to make it, including rice, barley, rye, buckwheat and hemp seeds, all of which affect the colour and flavour of the final product. The darker colours are generally linked with a stronger, saltier taste and the lighter colours sweeter and milder. I like to mix sweet white miso with tahini a dash of tamari and water to make a quick easy dressing/sauce. There are a number of recipes on my new website that use miso including; * Creamy Miso Prawn & Butterbeans * Sundried Tomato & Miso Mushroom Quinoa Porridge * Citrus Miso Roasted Brussels & Beetroot Salad www.timetonourish.co.uk or follow the link in my bio. #miso #timetonourish #naturalchef #nutritionalnuggets #marlownaturalchef #vitamins #minerals #simplemealsforbetterhealth #jerfing #healthyeating #healthyeatingeducator #nourishingfoods #nutrientdensefood #glutenfree #refinedsugarfree #eatplants #eatvariety #cravings #marlow #bucks #highwycombe #wycombe

Amid the current tomato scarcity in Nigeria, I took on the challenge of creating a delicious and vibrant stew without using any tomatoes. The result? A rich and flavorful beetroot and cabbage stew that tastes just like our beloved Nigerian tomato stew! This culinary experiment not only highlights the versatility of local ingredients but also showcases how we can adapt traditional recipes in times of need. The deep red hue of beetroot combined with the tender texture of cabbage creates a delightful stew that is both visually appealing and nutritionally rich. Key Benefits: - Nutritious: Beetroot is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. - Versatile: Perfect for family meals and baby-friendly recipes. - Sustainable: A creative solution to ingredient shortages.

Stock and bullion cubes are small but mighty. They give your food that savoury taste that makes the food more enjoyable But as small as they are the amount of sodium one cube contains is a cause for concern. I used to think I'd always need stock cubes until I started making my own stock using only wholesome ingredients. Two alternatives I've found to high sodium stock or bullion cubes 1. Homemade stock Celery, carrots, onion and chicken or beef. This is a hit with my family 2. Herbs and spices Fresh or dried works. The smell is just so great If you're watching your sodium intake, these high-sodium cubes should be the first to kick out of your pantry
